Francophile Justin Murphy will disappoint his suitors by agreeing a new deal to remain in Perpignan.

The Australian-born winger grabbed his first four-try haul to earn Catalans Dragons another home tie in the engage Super League play-offs.

Murphy, named in Super League's Dream Team in 2006, is out of contract at the end of the season.

But he gave a timely reminder of his talents as Mick Potter's Dragons thrashed woeful Wolves.

And they hope to do the same to Wigan on Saturday to leave them just one match from a Grand Final showdown against Leeds or St Helens on October 4.

"I'd like to stay here if possible," said Murphy.

"My wife Lenita is French and wants to have children over here. I've applied for French citizenship." Warrington's Irish international Simon Grix dislocated his shoulder and England hopeful Jon Clarke broke his arm in three places so will miss next month's World Cup.
